Winter of anxiety

They say that in the summer of 1980, the senior lieutenant of the KGB of the USSR Vladimir Putin participated in measures to ensure the security of the Moscow Olympics. If so, then the Sochi Games for him in a sense is a repetition of the past. In many ways, it is similar to the then and enhanced regime of the Olympic zone, which entered into force on January 7 . With that, however, the difference is that in 1980 the threat was imaginary, and now it is real.

Reading the once secret documents that the KGB warned the CPSU Central Committee that "the special services of the capitalist states and the foreign nationalist, Zionist, clerical and other anti -Soviet organizations are in their maintenance, and you realize that then they fought primarily with ideological danger. It was also connected with it to clean the capital from "antisocial elements", including the " preventive isolation of" dissidents in psychiatric specialists.

Meanwhile, there were terrorist attacks. True, they occurred three and a half years before the Olympics. Nevertheless, as a researcher at the FSB Academy Oleg Khlobustov writes in his widely replicated runet, they were one of the factors taking into account possible risks for games.

On January 8, 1977, for 40 minutes in Moscow three bombs exploded at once: one in the subway car, two in the very center of the city, on the streets of Dzerzhinsky and October 25 (now Bolshaya Lubyanka and Nikolskaya), a stone's headquarters of the KGB and the Kremlin. Seven people died, 37 were injured. A relatively small number of victims is explained by the fact that the metro line on the stage between the Izmailovskaya and Pervomaisky, so that the explosive wave was scattered.

The Soviet seal in the first days after the attacks did not report anything about them, the information of the Western "votes" was contradictory. On January 11, Andrei Sakharov heard on the radio a message known to his ties with the KGB of British journalist Viktor Louis: with reference to Soviet officials, he claimed that the attacks were committed, apparently, by dissidents. Sakharov decided that he could not hesitate, and wrote "appeal to the world community", which concluded in the following words:

I cannot get rid of the feeling that the explosion in the Moscow metro and the tragic death of people is a new and most dangerous provocation of repressive organs in recent years. It is this sensation and the concerns associated with it that this provocation can lead to a change in the entire internal climate of the country, was the incentive reason for writing this article. I would be very happy if my thoughts were wrong. In any case, I would like to hope that criminal offenses of repressive bodies are not state, authorized from above, a new policy of suppressing and discrediting dissenters, creating a “atmosphere of popular anger” against them, but so far only a criminal adventure of certain circles of repressive bodies that are not capable of honest struggle of ideas and tearing to power and influence. I urge the world public to demand a vowel investigation of the causes of the explosion in the Moscow metro on January 8 with the involvement of foreign experts and lawyers to participate in the investigation ...

Not all human rights activists shared the suspicions of the academician about the provocation of "bodies". At the same time, his fears regarding the consequences for the Soviet democratic movement were not without reason. Some famous dissidents demanded to prove their alibi at the time of explosions. Interrogations were carried out without a protocol, in a rough form. The Moscow Helsinki group convened a press conference at which Pyotr Grigorenko and Yuri Orlov said that "the situation is dangerously resembles the days of the solidness of the Reichstag."

In the case of explosions, in January 1979, the leader of the underground National United Party of Armenia Stepan Zutikyan and two performers were convicted and shot - AKOP Stepanyan and Zhen Baghdasaryan. Andrei Sakharov, having received fantastic information about the closed process (he was informed that the number of defendants is one hundred people), tried to achieve justice. In the appeal in the name of Brezhnev, he wrote:

There is good reason to fear that in this case there is a judicial error or intentional falsification ... The court, without any need, was completely closed and secret, even relatives knew nothing about its conduct. Such a court, on which the principle of publicity is completely violated, cannot establish the truth ...

Putting the last point in the Epistle of Brezhnev, Sakharov found out that the verdict was carried out.

He was the answer to the press in the press - he allegedly took the defense of the killers. Whereas in fact he simply demanded an open competitive process.

In 1977-1979, in order to think and write like sugars, great courage was required, even if he was mistaken, as the materials published today testify. Today, the ability of the Russian authorities to use terrorist attacks as a reason for twisting of nuts is no longer in doubt.

Reading the comments of servile observers to the Volgograd explosions, it is difficult not to see the conductor's wand under which this choir is singing. “This is revenge for Syria,” says Alexander Razuvaev, Columonist of the online Gazeta Gazeta. “As you know, we defended Syria. And so the cruel and expected“ answer ”flew to us.

“Russia is a revenge purposefully,” Igor Karaulov writes in Izvestia. “And there is something for! In the expired year, Russia has been very bad, very badly behaved. It has been put at least three times in a puddle of the world superpower and its multi -sized allies. Russia took the military threat from Syria. Russia did not give out Snowden. Europe ".

The priest Alexander Shumsky is somewhat knocked out of the friendly ensemble, according to which, "the explosions in Volgograd are the warning of the world backstage to our President Vladimir Putin and all Russian patriots who do not want to fit into the global pederastical matrix."

Well, it’s so clear where we have the main sodom.

In the besieged fortress, the first debt to find the internal enemy. And the Prochrevsky commentators are successfully doing this. Karaulov denounces the "domestic nonsense", which "played for the boycott of the Olympiad, signed different petitions, rejoiced at every blurry road, every awkwardness with the Olympic torch." He even refuses to call them accomplices of terrorists: "These are terrorists - their accomplices, their last reserve, an ambush regiment." Passage worthy of the Stalin prosecutor Vyshinsky! Razuvaev in his Philippica goes even further:

It is well known that some leaders of our liberal opposition raised funds not only on the overthrow of Putin, but also to overthrow Assad. Whether we achieved these funds of our recipients, we do not know. However, perhaps the terrorist attacks of the end of this year paid for the Russian creative class.

Not only do they want evil of Russia, ideologically support all its enemies - they also finance terrorists. Now we understand who this opposition is? Truly, seven troubles are one answer.
